55 + has higher rate of STD AKA STD heaven lol

5 reasons: 1) Karens, 2) Karens, 3) Karens, 4) Karens and 5) more Karens!

If I were making this video, I think I would separate the two issues: (1) HOAs and (2) 55+ Communities. Buyers often are stuck with all the rules of an HOA when they buy a house period. A 55+ Community probably adds more rules and restrictions. One nice thing about an HOA is that they can keep investment firms from buying up the houses and turning them into rentals. I haven’t researched this point but understand that federal law prohibits HOAs from prohibiting the placement of a TV antenna on the roof of a house.

Who manages your airbnb?

Puerto Rico, you must be kidding. I lived there as a teenager. I eye witnessed a high level of corruption. I couldn’t wait to get off the island.

In my opinion HOA's have one prime directive: maintaining property value. They will lawyer-up to stop nearby new construction or municipal projects deemed to have a detrimental effect on home values. We have an old high school being torn down and several of the HOA developments are working to rezone the land into park and recreational use. This was after the state approved a grant for middle income housing - including demolishing the old building. I imagine there was a "special assessment" people were forced to pay to fund this legal war. Some of these were 55+ communities. Just the fact you could get sucked into something for something like this is a turn-off for me.

It’s going to push real estate back forty years. It’s a ridiculous change.

I'm from the U.S and living in Puerto Rico for 5 years now....Working on leaving now. Too expensive, healthy food choices are very expensive snd scarce. The "health care" system is a disaster. You need lots of cash and a car that works.

When I was 37, I rented a room in a trailer in an over 55 community. It had a clubhouse and swimming pool which was never used. I made use of the swimming pool, and the free library in the clubhouse. Technically, I shouldn't have been there, but nobody said anything. This was in Seattle, in the late 90s.

You are very informative i bought a pieces of land in Salina to build on,,happily retired renting the most cozy full house til my house get build im in love with my rental close to my family's officially permanently i should be here before the cold hit nyc. Love waking up with the sound of rosters they are my alarm clock.

What nonsense. I have a DB pension and investments of 2m as a teacher. No debts and a small inheritance.

I can move to the small town in Tuscany where my grandfather was born and live comfortably on less than $1000 per month, including housing, an Internte Cell Phone, and Healthcare.

I enjoyed your video and the comments. All very informative.

Could I use a 50/50 bleach water mix and use a new paint roller because of textire

Hi! How is the PR house? Did the water go up the street? Let me know. I was thinking about you. Stay safe if you are in PR.

After 30+ years of travel to 40 countries as a corporate expat and digital nomad, I wanted to retire abroad but then I launched my own business (at age 60) and had to come up with a new plan that would allow me to be in the US at least half the time. I decided to go flex-pat, dividing the year by 3 months in the US, followed by 3 months in Europe, returning to the US for 3 months and then 3 months in Asia. I keep an apartment in the US year-round, so finances, taxes and visas are not an issue, and don’t own a car or pets. My expenses are very low, and my business revenue funds my travel expenses. I can do most of the work online, so if I ever want to move permanently, I can hire someone part-time to manage tasks that require a physical presence.

Very impressive. What area of PR?

Fake grass???????? Plant a lemon tree, dude! Sorry but too costly and the work is not good.

50,000 for a swimming pool, a total rip off! Food cost, total insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the video.

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.

People born in 1945 to 1955 had it the absolute best! I was born in 1962...and I HAD a huge problem with the stock market corrections, economic fallout of my era....but i still did relatively well...i always said, I feel bad for people born in 1965 to 1975 as they MUST have had it worse than me!

COLONIZERS!!!!! YT PPL R NOT WANTED!!!! YA’LL CAN DEFINITELY GET THE F^€% OUT!!! THIS IS AFRO-INDIGENOUS LAND!!!!! SAVAGES!!!!!!

I think you can do both… but we LOVE being debt free! There has been no greater feeling not being tied down to the debt. We aren’t completely FI, but we could not work for many years and be fine. That weight off of us was life changing.

Fantastic balanced and honest video. Very well done. I am planning to move there in less than a year.

Debt arbitrage, been thinking about this a lot lately…

I appreciate your information but your sound is terrible and you're making me dizzy by walking.

Great Video!!!!! We moved to retire and also to care of a sick family member. We live 15 minutes out of San Juan and have the best of both worlds. The lifestyle is real, the constant maintenance is real as well. The cost of living is continuing to become more equal and a better balance. Healthcare in Puerto Rico is not equal to the states........if you have good health.........it is all about priorities. Live small with what is necessary. What is happiness............

Never never never get into an HOA! They can control everything you do to your property even the flowers you grow. Ohh I’m serious.

Happy birthday 🎊🎉🎈🎂

Great Info--very concise on the big and little stuff.. Great!!! Appreciate all the effort to put together fantastic Video...

I was born and raised in Arecibo Puerto Rico, but I have been living in the states for 41 years on and off, I bought a house back in the late 90ies moved back but after three years I left, it sucks to work there, I don’t t know if I could go back when I retire because the roads suck and the infrastructure is not the best, but who knows, for now I stay in Florida. Great video.

The journey. You are so right.

Thank you so helpful. I will not be buying into a 55+ community.

love it man , thank you for the video ! can you share the facebook group please

Very true about the bugs and insects. They are everywhere and he didn't even mention the spiders and little lizards and salamanders that you have no idea how they get into your house. I can't affords exterminators every month, I just have my cans of Raid Spray that I spray around the windows and doorways every few weeks , I throw a few crushed monthballs on the outside of the house and I also powerwash the windows with a mix of detergent and vinegar that helps a lots with keeping bugs away. Also a house not lived in is fair game in the insect and bug world here in PR, also the elements of heat, humidity and rains does a number of unlived homes. 🤣😂

Not able to retire need internet and a one person hurricane proof cottage with a sleeping cove … solid .. cheap …if that exists … a safe place where you dont need a car… and can swim.. without massive steep hills.. i dont know if that exists… cheap spanish classez

Your credit card link does not work

In your grocery review you did not mention that the reason that the prices are so high is that the USA Dept of Agriculture controls and demands that produce be brought in from the mainland. Although much of this could be grown in PR, it is not allowed as it is under control of the USA. My in-laws operate a dairy in the west of PR and the Dept of Agriculture is always on them to reduce their production as to allow more dairy to be brought from the mainland. Also, the Jones Act is responsible for the reason normal household goods cost are as high as they are. The USA and Crowley shipping have a horrible stranglehold on the island. The USA is a horrible and irresponsible colonizer. Puerto Rico is the oldest and longest held colony in the world.

One of your best videos!!! Nice job.

I wish ATVs were legal to drive on public roads there.

I spend 30 yrs researching Dominican Republic; wish it wouldn’t been puerto Rica 😊

HOAs vary widely. We can build a fence in the backyard; the only pet restriction is farm animals. You have to read your own documents before you buy. The limited demographic for resale is a thing. I wonder what will happen as the Boomer wave dies off. Lack of age diversity bothers me too. I like lots of kinds of people. Know what floats your boat. Amenities support the value of your property whether you use them or not. You just decide whether that's important to you.

Thank you for sharing your story. People don’t realize this is a risk and you will have highs and lows. Thank you for your honest opinion. Which bank did you use to buy the house in Puerto Rico?

We can plan all we want, however our currency isn’t SOUD. The high inflation effects we’re currently experiencing will be coming in again like waves. Take note what has/is/will continue to happen to the baby boomers.

Is it to possible to retire with the inflation ? How do we account for that ?

Thanks for teaching us on the proper mindset to adopt Thanks

Great video, appreciate your honest y

Gringo go home!

I live.in PR.. We stay home.on Sundays. Not worth taking your life in your hands w the drunks on the roads. Speaking of drinking, the booze prices have an 11.5% tax added to them.

The people who actually love their jobs should keep working and contributing to society.
